Breaking news from Cambodia can be found here. CEO often finds Khmer news and translates it into English for our readers if it is interesting to expats, locals, Cambodians living abroad and anyone who wants to stay informed of the latest local and international news stories about Cambodia and our neighbors in South East Asia. There are many sources for Khmer news articles and they can all be found here in one place. Most of the media comes out of Phnom Penh, Siem Reap or Sihanoukville, but we cover national Cambodian news from all provinces.

After receiving the information, the specialist police, the immigration police, and autopsist went to the scene to examine the body. The police concluded that the victim died of a heart attack. [This is the official cause of death.]
Samuel Penhallow was a bright young man who traveled the world, but also attended university in the UK. He was living long term in Cambodia and working in Phnom Penh with his web design company, Penhallow PP.
The victim's belongings were sent to the British Embassy to be handed over to his parents, and the body was sent to keep at the Khmer Soviet Friendship hospital. Only 22 years old.
Condolences to all his family and friends.

Sure, anything's possible, but it's much more common that a sudden death occurring to someone of this age would be related to substance abuse, even if he died in his home country, without even adding in Cambodia's reputation as a place where Westerners abuse drugs.

There are those who think heroin is being sold as cocaine in Cambodia and that young Westerners are dying because of it. Maybe there should be more warnings about this. The U.S. State Department consular information sheet on Cambodia warns about the dangers of armed robbery with military weapons and unexploded land mines. It says nothing about the dangers of ingesting street drugs.
